IT was then modified to mil-spec by the army which converted to assault rifle status and redesignated this new assault rifle as the M-16, then again modified for close quarter combat in a carbine form as the m-4.
So again stupid people, ALL AR-15s are semi automatic NON assault rifles that where purposely made for civilian use.
Educate yourself fools!
ArmaLite, then a division of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation. When first introduced in 1956, the AR-10 used an innovative straight-line barrel/stock design with phenolic composite and forged alloy parts resulting in a small arm significantly easier to control in automatic fire and over 1 lb (0.45 kg) lighter than other infantry rifles of the day.[1] Over its production life, the original AR-10 was built in relatively small numbers, with fewer than 9,900 rifles assembled. However, the ArmaLite AR-10 would become the progenitor for a wide range of firearms.
In 1957, the basic AR-10 design was rescaled and substantially modified by ArmaLite to accommodate the .223 Remingtoncartridge, and given the designation ArmaLite AR-15.[2] In 1959, ArmaLite sold its rights to the AR-10 and AR-15 to Colt Firearms due to financial difficulties, and limitations in terms of manpower and production capacity.[3] After modifications (most notably, the charging handle was re-located from under the carrying handle like AR-10 to the rear of the receiver), the new redesigned rifle was subsequently adopted by the U.S. military as the M16 Rifle.[4][5][6] Colt continued to use the AR-15 trademark for its line of semi-automatic-only rifles, which it marketed to civilian and law-enforcement customers as the Colt AR-15. With the expiration of its patent, other manufacturers began producing their own variants, known as AR-15 style rifles.

Damn Dirch. If you're going to lecture people you should at least try to get it right. First off Eugene Stoner's AR-10 was chambered in 7.62 x 51 not 7.65 x 29. Second, Armalite's AR-15 was originally a select fire weapon, not a semi-automatic. Colt didn't start selling semi-automatic versions of the AR-15's until 1964.
